UltraFast T1 Wireless - Distributors

FAQ: Information for resellers and distributors

What exactly is UltraFast T1 Wireless broadband service?
UltraFast T1 Wireless provides a wireless alternative to cable and copper wire solutions for the “last mile” delivery of bandwidth to homes and businesses. When companies use our service, online data is transmitted digitally to or from the user’s computer Ethernet network interface card to the wireless transceiver connected to their computer or LAN. The signal then travels through the radio to the antenna we have installed, usually on the roof. It travels wirelessly between antenna towers, located throughout the service area. Data is instantly and directly transmitted to the Internet and back to the computers again. For specifics on how the network operates, see the technology section of our web site.
